Spanning over a decade of his portrait work, showing some of the most dynamic, influential, and controversial figures in modern politics, popular culture, sports, entertainment, technology, science, space travel, and global culture, Money People Politics is an electrifying retrospective from renowned contemporary photographer, Marco Grob. Whether a candid moment of vulnerability, raw emotion, or the direct, unadulterated gaze, Grob’s portraits are uniquely ennobling, but ultimately human. Through his autonomous and intimate photographic process with each special personality that has impacted and shaped recent culture, the photographer has been granted a rare and privileged “front-row seat to history.” Wholly passionate and committed to his craft that began as a beloved hobby over 30 years ago, Marco Grob believes that when you “carry a camera, you carry a responsibility.”

Latitude Zero is the culmination of a 25,000-mile odyssey that begins at the mouth of the Amazon River, moving in a westward direction, documenting the precious pact between humanity and nature within one degree north and south of latitude zero through Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, the Republic of Kiribati, the Republic of Nauru, Indonesia, the Maldives, Somalia, Kenya, Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Republic of Congo, Gabon, and Sao Tome e Principe.

No itinerary or agenda was necessary. The purpose of Latitude Zero was to be as visually playful and uninhibited as possible, to simply be authentic and document life with a capital L. Any point within the equatorial zone was fair game, unless geography (Manaus) or politics (Mogadishu) dictated otherwise. And imagine a meal of beans and rice deep in southern Colombia’s rainforest with the FARC guerrillas, or eating turtles laced with honey with the Congolese pygmies, or dining in a loud testosterone-driven petrol platform cafeteria off Gabon’s Atlantic coast!

The work of the Swiss-American photojournalist, Monique Stauder has been published in TIME, the New York Times, Christian Science Monitor, GEO and Mother Jones, among others.

Stauder has master’s degrees in international relations and history.

British photographer Rankin commemorates his finest work through his largest retrospective book to date – MORE.

As one of the most compelling celebrity and portraiture photographers of our generation, Rankin brings a charged vitality to all the subjects he portrays. A new in-depth retrospective book, MORE is a comprehensive overview, documenting the photographer’s most individual and best work from the worlds of fashion, music, and media from the past 20 years.

Organised by themes, including nudes, portraits (featuring iconic personalities such as Tom Hardy, The Rolling Stones, and Emma Watson), beauty, fashion, and myths (a collaboration with artist Damien Hirst showing a contemporary portrayal of ancient mythical monsters), MORE is a rich, diverse, and revealing collection of photography.

Upon reflection of MORE, Rankin says, “If you look at my work and compare it to others, it’s a little uncomfortable, a bit strange, and a bit challenging.…I think my pictures are anti-celebrity—get them off the pedestal, get them face-to-face.…If you look at the work, it’s leveling.”

Through this philosophy, Rankin manages to make us see familiar faces such as Heidi Klum and Beth Ditto in fresh and challenging ways. “Some photographers poke and antagonize, some are really silent, some are demanding…I’m persuasive” says Rankin.

Never content with the status quo, Rankin constantly innovates through pioneering projects, such as the project ALIVE: In The Face Of Death and his current publishing venture, HUNGER magazine. Although a master of carefully constructed staging and composition, Rankin’s images are always packed to the brim with freshness and spontaneity.

With a foreword by William Boyd and an in-depth interview between Michael Holden and Rankin, MORE is indispensable for anyone who admires the work of this photographic master.  For those wanting even more of MORE, also available are 100 Collector’s Editions of the book with the title hand-written on the jacket by Rankin himself, presented in a refined clamshell box with a numbered photoprint.

British novelist and author of MORE’s foreword, William Boyd, reveals: “There are wonderful portraits in this book, world-class, in my opinion, where we see that Rankin has managed to garner something new about even the most familiar faces.”

Відзначений нагородами фотограф Тім Флеч витратив роки на дослідження важливого зв’язку між нами та тваринами. Тепер він представляє кульмінацію зусиль, що тривали в кар’єрі, надзвичайну роботу, в якій кожне зображення є більш вражаючим і потужнішим, ніж попереднє.

Подібно до високо оцінених попередніх книг Флаха, Equus and Dogs, More than Human вразить і надихне, постійно стверджуючи тварину, незалежно від того, чи вона рідкісна чи звичайна, могутня чи беззахисна, дивна чи велична. Книга демонструє звіринець істот — панд, тигрів, кажанів, левів, орангутангів, кобр, жаб-биків, шимпанзе, вовків, дикобразів, слонів, сов, броненосців та багатьох інших — таких, яких ніколи раніше не бачили. Проливаючи світло на зображення Флаха, стане доступна колекція текстів, написана та відредагована автором Льюїсом Блеквеллом.

Bettina Rheims came to fame in the 80s with sensational nudes and portraits and her legendary book ‘Female Trouble’. The sequel, ‘More Trouble’ presents her latest photographic visions of female glamour, beauty, fashion, fame, sex, and seduction. Once again, Rheims gives proof of her extraordinary originality and her sensitivity for both the manifold facets of femininity and pictorial eroticism.

Behind closed doors. Lustful places, luscious women

"A number of years ago I began to see distinctive layouts in Hustler’s Leg World that got me nervous. The photographs were that good. Whoever it was had style and made the women his women. Krider women. Women I began to desire on a monthly basis. In the world of professional golf there is an expression ’the world’s greatest golfer not to win a major tournament.’ Chas Ray Krider was the world’s greatest erotic photographer not to have a book.

Thanks to TASCHEN we now have over 160 Krider images to pore over. To salivate over. Like a good film noir, he takes us to lustful places. Is it a crime scene or a sea of lust? These beautiful, languid women wait for whom? For me. For you. They play the ’waiting game’ beautifully. An ass in the air, a pair of crossed legs in nylons, all bathed in warm tones. A still life unstuck in time. So this is what goes on behind closed doors?

Oh, I almost forgot. Alongside these many Midwest femmes fatales is Dita, raven-haired icon. Not since Betty Page has a woman fleshed out so correctly a vintage girdle and bra ensemble. Enjoy. He takes you places where you only vaguely think you have been."
- Eric Kroll, editor and pupil

By the second half of the 20th century, the motorcycle had been transformed from a cheap and basic form of motoring to a symbol of liberty and the desire to rebel against social conventions. This pictorial book offers and intriguing and unusual foray into celebrities' close relationships with their bikes. More than 120 fabulous images, unpublished photographs, movie stills and paparazzi shots reveal the stars' ongoing love affair with the bike from the 1950s to today. Featured A-list bike owners include pop and rock stars, cinema idols, and divas and celebrities from all the media, including Marlon Brando, Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper, Steve McQueen, Meatloaf and the Jackson Five.

Mountains, one of nature’s greatest masterpieces, in their rugged beauty, breathtaking views from the top, clear air, green pastures, mountain lakes and glaciers, have cap-tivated mankind all along. Climbing mountains or just gazing at their majestic splendor causes us to slow down and contemplate, maybe even giving us a little serenity. Photographer Tim Hall beautifully captures the powerful solace of mountains in his images. He often chooses to shoot in dramatic weather, making his work and the photographed mountains look even more stunning and transcendent. The intention to strike an emotional or spiritual chord is evident in much of his landscape work, which is inspired by Rothko and Turner. The influence of painting in his work stems from his studies of Art History at Manchester University. Mountains – Beyond the Clouds presents the extensive Alpine mountain range, including famous landmarks such as the Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, and the Dolomites.

 - A breathtaking photographic ode to the Alps
 - With additional information on the shown regions and mountains

TIM HALL is a British Fine Art Photographer, who specializes in travel, landscape, and portraiture. His drive to see the world through the lens of a camera was inspired by the romance of 19th-century travelers and more recently, National Geographic photographers. The work is a lyrical response to the people and places that he has visited and shows his deep interest in the urban and natural world as well as the people who inhabit them. With over 20 years experience as a project-based photographer, his works are often conceived as a series, exhibited as a collective body, or bought as single pieces. Tim lives in London and is represented by contemporary art galleries across Europe, South East Asia, and the USA.

Today classic English style and tailoring enjoy worldwide adulation. And when it comes to top-drawer tailoring, there is nobody quite like Jeremy Hackett.

Hackett takes us on a Grand Tour of an appealing world of Bentleys and polo, bicycles and picnics, bow ties and Sussex Spaniels, top hats and bespoke luggage. Along the way, he muses on sartorial codes: why plus twos beat plus fours, the ideal length of sock, the pros and cons of cufflinks and the art of monogramming.

Brimming with anecdotes and observations as sharp as his suits – as well as more than a glancing nostalgia for an age when a chap knew how to dress for an occasion – this is a book for those who appreciate the finer things in life.

Jeremy Hackett left school aged 17 and worked his way up from the shop floor until finally starting his own label, Hackett, in 1983. He remains Chairman of Hackett to this day. Jeremy discovered an aptitude for writing when he was commissioned to write for The Independent on Sunday. The Mr Classic column ensued, gathering a loyal following, and ran for three years.

June Newton, renowned under her photographic pseudonym Alice Springs, takes the reader on an extraordinary journey from her childhood in Australia, via work and travels with her husband, Helmut Newton, to life today in LA and Monaco.

The photographs by and of Springs featured throughout the book - a wonderful contemporary mix of personal snapshots and professional portraits of creative figures including Yves Saint Laurent, Gore Vidal, Balthus, Robert Mapplethorpe, Brassai, Nicole Kidman, and Angelica Houston - illustrate the story of her life, in which the houses and apartments where she has lived stand as milestones. Her previously unpublished diary extracts and her new writing are lit up by gentle irony, disarming honesty, and a photographer's eye for telling detail.

Intensely personal and engaging, this book charts the journey through the life of a remarkable 20th-century woman.
